On October 7, 1938,
Fr. Alberione founded the Sisters of Jesus the Good
Shepherd to be "mothers and sisters, everyone's
friends, rays of sunshine and joy in the parish." He
wanted them to model their efforts on the early
Church's model where women excelled in their service
to the community. He wanted them to be great by
serving all. They are found in twelve countries on
five continents. The kingdom that they serve,
however, has no boundaries and transcends the
continents of this beautiful planet.
